    Post the position you dread ending up in and what specifically goes wrong there. I will answer as many as I can, and point you at the lessons that covers it!

    North-south. The moment people start to pressure in from the top and not give me space to frame, I usually had to only use strength to try and push them off by their hips then their shoulders. But it’s never really consistent and really inefficient isn’t it?

    @Arhades Definitely check out North South Escapes! I do agree that North South is one of the hardest to escape. I think that's why I love it as a top position.

    @Rehemansheriff007 100% North South is terrible. I usually do ok getting out of mount BUT when it's someone who knows it well, it's really tough

    Honestly 50/50 is a big struggle to exit out of. I can try to turn it to my advantage with the knee positioning to get it to 80/20 etc. and attacking from there is decent enough. But if I'm against a player I know is better on the offence than me in 50/50 the thing I really struggle with is getting out of the position altogether.

    My general go to is to try to heist up to standing and disentangle from there used in conjunction with trying to get the trapped leg across my opponents body into a more standard ashi position. But often I find this dilemma is not enough to enable me to complete the movement in order to escape.

    @Pred500 the dreaded 50/50... that definitely is a pain to untangle for sure
